Mayor Cornett: "This city is going on a diet"

 

WHO:                        

Mayor Mick Cornett

WHAT:     

Mayor Cornett will be asking residents to collectively lose one million pounds in an effort to create a healthier City.  An interactive Web site, www.thiscityisgoingonadiet.com, will launch on New Year’s Eve to track the city’s weight-loss progress.

The homepage will feature a live counter to indicate the cumulative number of pounds the Web site’s participants have lost.  The interactive Web site allows participants to confidentially track their weight loss progress and calculate their Body Mass Index (BMI), which is a simple method for estimating body fat and determining a goal weight.  The site also features helpful information about nutrition, exercise and how to successfully set weight loss goals. 

WHEN:     

Monday, December 31 (New Year’s Eve) at 2:30 p.m.

WHERE:   

The elephant exhibit at the Oklahoma City Zoo, 2101 NE 50. Check in with guest relations upon arrival.
